Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Length or arc = \(\frac{\theta}{360}\) x 2\(\pi\)r
= \(\frac{30}{360}\) x 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 12
= \(\frac{1}{12}\) x 2 x \(\pi\) x 2 = 2\(\pi\)cm
Length or arc = \(\frac{\theta}{360}\) x 2\(\pi\)r
= \(\frac{30}{360}\) x 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 12
= \(\frac{1}{12}\) x 2 x \(\pi\) x 2 = 2\(\pi\)cm
